He also joined Warwickshire CCC in 1986 but a back injury restricted his appearances to the Second X1. After his First Class career ended he represented Wiltshire in Minor Counties cricket and played club cricket for Swindon CC, Lansdown CC (Bath), Optimists CC ( Bristol ), Calmore CC and Dumbleton CC. He also represented a Western League Select X1 and still plays out matches for the MCC.

He was used primarily as a bowler, taking 88 first-class wickets at an average of 25.35 and 27 one-day wickets at an average of 26.03. After the 1984 County Championship season, he was released by the club. Emery also represented England B in a match against the touring Pakistan team in 1982, taking 4 for 46 in the first innings, his victims including Mohsin Khan (who had just made a double hundred in a Test match), Wasim Raja, and Saleem Malik.[1]
